Planning Your Perfect Andaman Nicobar Package: Essential Steps

Designing the perfect Andaman Nicobar Package means careful consideration of a number of important factors. From how you'll get to these paradise islands to how you'll explore their beauty, detailed planning guarantees smooth and unforgettable traveling.

Reaching the Andaman Islands: Your Gateway Options

The Andaman and Nicobar Islands are connected by air as well as by sea, and each provides its own view on the way to your dream Andaman Nicobar Package.

By Air: The quickest way to get to the Andaman Islands is to take a flight to Veer Savarkar International Airport (IXZ) in Port Blair. Flights from major Indian cities such as Chennai, Kolkata, Delhi, and Mumbai take around 2 to 5 hours. Air tickets depend on the season, and they are more expensive during the peak tourist season (from October to May). Pre-booking is advisable to get good fares.

By Sea: For a relaxed beginning, passenger ships from Chennai, Kolkata, and Visakhapatnam reach Port Blair in 2 to 4 days. Though cheaper, the journey by sea is time-consuming, and fare varies with accommodation class and season.

Local Transportation:

• Inter-Island Ferries: The principal means of travel between islands, from Port Blair to places such as Havelock, Neil, and Ross Island. Advance booking of tickets is recommended, particularly during peak season.
  
• Local Buses: Cheap but crowded ways of traveling around Port Blair and big islands.
• Auto-Rickshaws: Great for short hops, but always specify the fare beforehand.
  
• Taxis/Private Cabs: Comfortable for a longer journey or for city sightseeing, priced differently depending on vehicle and duration.
  
• Scooters/Bikes: Hiring a scooter or bike is common on islands such as Havelock for ease of mobility.

Essential Transportation Tips for Your Andaman Nicobar Package:

• Fastest Arrival: For the person with not much time to spare, flying into Port Blair is the fastest method of starting your Andaman Nicobar Package.
• Island Exploration: To enjoy the various beaches and islands in your Andaman Nicobar Package to the fullest, ferries and boats are the most convenient and picturesque means of transportation.
• Unparalleled Bird's Eye Views: Opt for a helicopter transfer among some of the islands for awe-inspiring bird's eye views, giving a luxury touch to your Andaman Nicobar Package.

Unveiling the Gems of Andaman: Must-Visit Places and Experiences

The Andaman Islands are a treasure house of natural beauty, historical sites, and rich cultural experiences, all waiting to be explored as a part of your carefully designed Andaman Nicobar Package.

• Havelock Island (Swaraj Dweep): Renowned for its picturesque beaches such as Radhanagar (one of the best in Asia), Elephant Beach (paradise for snorkeling), and Vijaynagar Beach, Havelock is a major highlight of Andaman packages.
• Neil Island (Shaheed Dweep): Famous for tranquil beaches like Bharatpur (ideal for water sports), Laxmanpur (renowned for sunset views), and natural rock formation of Sitapur Beach (Howrah Bridge), Neil is a tranquil getaway frequently added to travel plans.
• Ross Island (Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose Island): A historic island, previously the British administrative center, now the site of colonial-era ruins stunningly reclaimed by nature. It's a touching addition to most tours.
• North Bay Island: Renowned for colorful coral reefs and thrilling water activities such as snorkeling, scuba diving, and sea walking. A favorite day outing in Andaman packages.
• Baratang Island: With limestone caves and mangrove creeks, Baratang is an offbeat natural destination for tailor-made packages.
• Little Andaman: A relaxed destination famous for Butler Bay beach (surfing), waterfalls, and elephant safaris, ideal for those looking for a less crowded experience away from popular tourist destinations.

Immerse Yourself in History and Culture

• Cellular Jail (Kala Pani), Port Blair: A strong national memorial that is a symbol of India's fight for freedom. This place of historical interest provides a poignant insight into the world of political prisoners. A historically important addition to nearly all Andaman Nicobar Package tours.
• Anthropological Museum, Port Blair: Offers priceless glimpses into the life, culture, and tradition of the aboriginal tribes of the Andaman and Nicobar Islands. This museum adds a rich cultural flavor to your Andaman Nicobar Package.
• Naval Marine Museum (Samudrika), Port Blair: Demonstrates the islands' rich marine life and biodiversity. An educational tour is usually suggested to go along with your Andaman Nicobar Package.

Understanding the Indigenous Tribes of Andaman

The Andaman Islands harbor a number of different indigenous tribal groups, each with their own history and culture:

• The Great Andamanese: Previously the most numerous group, their numbers have greatly diminished.
• The Jarawa: Characterized by their ancient nomadic way of life, they live in areas of South and Middle Andaman.
• The Onge: Mainly residing on Little Andaman Island.
• The Sentinelese: Living on North Sentinel Island, they are isolated and resistant to outside contact.

It is essential to honor the privacy and cultural traditions of these native peoples. Direct contact with some tribes is illegal to preserve their lifestyle and health. Studying their history and individual cultures provides an added depth and value to your knowledge of the Andaman Islands.

Witness the Beauty of Dawn: Sunrise Points

• Vijaynagar Beach, Havelock Island: Provides an awe-inspiring view of the sunrise, colouring the eastern horizon with brilliant hues against the vast oceanic expanse.
